#3 of 5 Food & Drink in St. Pete Beach
- travelmomrr00A Must in St. Pete!Our family enjoyed the Gulp Tour! It was a great way to connect to family and experience St.Pete. Maris helped customize every detail of our tour and Rachel was an amazing and fun tour guide. Each of the breweries were a different experience and enjoyed the beer variety
- David L00Our second time around!We had an awesome tour, guided by owner Maris, in a Mercedes Benz Stinger...first class all the way. They pick you up and drop you off, no having to drive! Visited a number of breweries which were outstanding...Cage & Floating Boat...well, along with Green Bench. A super tour that's not to be missed if you're a beer tour fan. Take visitors from out of town, they'll love it. Thanks, Maris, we'll be back.
- Baxterbeach00A really fun afternoonWhat a great way to spend some time exploring a few of the many breweries in the St. Pete area! Our guide Rachel was fun, informative and gave us great recommendations to get out of our comfort zone. Our eyes were opened to some new breweries we did not know existed and some new flavors we never thought we would like. We will definitely do this again, for the price it is so worth it to experiment and enjoy the beer and not get behind a vehicle! The vehicle was super clean and air conditioned and the driver was fantastic!
- jkeohara00***Read my review before you book a tour!!***I travel round the globe for work, mainly in the USA but often find myself in the far East and Europe. I recently had a week in St.Petersburg and had a spare day. The concierge at my hotel (Don Cesar) gave me a couple of suggestions of what to do with a day off and i went for this tour. What a day, i can honestly tell you this was one of the best days I've had away from home. I met some amazing people, not just Maris who was knowledgeable, kind and such a good laugh. But the food was amazing, the drinks were fantastic and the activities include just rounded off the perfect day. I'm always weary of giving too much away! I always do a tour in each city i visit. Don't miss out on this one. It was by far the best!!! See you next time I'm back in Florida!!!
- Catherine D00Oh what fun it is to ride!Looking for a good time and a chance to experience the St Pete craft brews? Take a trip with Maris at Thirsty Pelican! Big fun!
- 00Must try!We had so much fun! You really need to try this experience to understand. If you are into craft beers, a good time, and meeting new awesome people this is the place to go! I made my purchase through Groupon for half off the original price but this is something I would pay full price for. My fiance and I are already planning on doing this again and working it in to something we do for our wedding parties. Maris and the team is so amazing. Maris met up with us at multiple locations and checked in with how our experience was going. We also met new people who we ended up hanging out with after the tour was over. The fact that they pick you up and drop you off allowed us to really enjoy the tour. We got different beers and flights at each stop! Definitely give this a try if you're looking for something fun to do!
- Ben S00Awesome!Our Thirsty Pelican experience was great! Maris and team provided 1st class service with 1st class transportation to top notch breweries in the St Pete / Tampa Bay area! We were picked up at our front door, treated to tacos (and a beer) before heading out to an invite only brewing event in Tampa. The Thirsty Pelican team was very educated in their beer and accommodating. They also made us feel like friends/family throughout the entire event. This is a must do for those visiting or living in the area.
- TwirlyGirl2XA00What a tour for craft beer loversWe were so pleasantly surprised with the amount of fun on our tour that we went back for another. Each tour is a different experience wirh different stops at the growing number of craft breweries in the Tampa Bay area. Not having to drive is certainly the way to go and each time we've met people that are new friends. Professional and friendly staff wirh begind the scene private tours. Can't wait to go again!
- Chris W00A Night to Remember!I chose Thirsty Pelican Tours for my brother's bachelor party and they were fantastic. Unlike other brew tours in the St. Pete/Tampa area, they were accommodating and flexible, and did everything they could to make sure the night was perfect for us. I especially appreciated all of the personal touches they provided: having beer trivia (and prizes!) on the bus, capturing photos of everyone having fun, and making sure the music playlists on the bus were catered specifically for the groom to be. Our tour hosts from Thirsty Pelican were extremely friendly and clearly communicated the plans for the evening at beginning of the night. That was important because it eliminated any confusion later when everyone was less, let's say-- “aware.” Everyone had an amazing time and I would recommend Thirsty Pelican tours to anyone. Thanks guys!

This excellent tour visits three or four of the many craft beer makers in St Petersburg. Comfortable minibus with experienced driver & host. Whatever your taste in beer there will be many choices for you. Each brewery had its own atmosphere with tasty beers. Enjoy!

Enjoyed the brewery tours and the food was delicious. The mural art and artist commentary was fun. The tour lasted over 4 hours which was too long for us.

Maris went out of her way to make sure I was able to enjoy a Christmas gift. This is a great way to see the local craft scene in St Pete and not worry about driving. We got some great behind the scenes tours and enjoyed some great beer. If you love craft beer and enjoy a well put together adventure then be sure to book a trip.

I am a world traveler and I always book local tours by private business owners. I went on this tour and had a blast. It is very well organized and you do not have to worry about a thing. All you have to do is bring your thirst for quality beers and learn more about them along the way. Leave the driving up to somebody else.

Lots of fun for beer lovers. Very comfortable coach took us to three different breweries. Our staff was super friendly and helpful. Trivia questions and prizes between stops. We met a bunch of nice people and even went out for food after the tour.
